Respuesta :

Answer:

$5,600,000

Explanation:

For computing the cost of the goodwill, first, we have to calculate the fair value of the net asset which is shown below:

The fair value of net asset =  The book value of Reliable’s net assets + exceeded book values amount

= $8,600,000+ $2,800,000

= $11,400,000

And, the acquired all of the outstanding stock is $17 million

So, the goodwill would be  

= $17,000,000  - $11,400,000

= $5,600,000
